The three indigenes of Ikaram Akoko in Akoko North-West
Local Government Area of Ondo State who were kidnapped by some gunmen in Ayere
in Kogi State have been released.
It was gathered that the victims who were traveling from
Abuja coming for a birthday ceremony in their hometown in Ondo State were
kidnapped along Ayere-Kabba Road in Kogi State last week.
A source however disclosed that the victims regained their
freedom after the payment of N12 million ransom.
“Their families paid
N12million ransom to secure the safe release of the abductees after series of
negotiations,” the source stated.
When contacted about the development, the Ondo State Police
Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, however, claimed oblivious of
the incident.
“I am not aware of such incident, it did not happen in our
jurisdiction,” the PPRO said.
